Why are women’s nipples considered unacceptable anyway? It seems really sexist in my opinion to say that male nipples are acceptable but female ones aren’t

It’s just because of sexualixation and prude people pressuring the fuck out of those platforms. Although a bit unnecessary imho I don’t mind seeing a tiddy on insta, they’ll have to add a nsfw tag tho. Insta is prob going to decline into even more onlyfans advertisements

So you want NSFW tags for all nipples?

You answered your own question there - sexism and patriarchy, which need women as objects and property, not individuals worthy of individual freedoms.

In a decent number of countries, they are pretty relaxed. You go there, you see nipple (or dick) for 5 seconds, it’s notable, then it fades into the background. People are just anal-retentive about it because of religion and family culture.

And if you think about it, family culture comes from religion

Some people enjoy being anal-retention to dicks, I am unsure about the logistics of doing that with a nipple

Because most women choose to keep tops on and most cultures find them sexual. You can go topless in 95% of places in the West that allow shirts off. Women choose to keep the tops on.

In most of those places, there are laws against feminine presenting people from being topless. They don’t “just choose” to have a top on.

Absolutely not. You can pretty much go wherever you want in public topless in the US.

and when someone transitions… it’s … the /same/ nipple, but it used to be illegal and unseemly - but now is perfectly legal to show everywhere , strange…

I’ve seen a surgery documentary on TV about transitioning. They showed the surgeon doing the breast surgery. It was all uncensored, nipples and all, until the very second the doc put the silicone bag under the skin. Then they pixelated the nipple. The same nipple they were showing all along.

Makes you wonder at what size of breasts does it become NSFW and should men with boobs be censored? 🤔

I once saw a Japanese arse eating video like that, no pixelation until the tongue touched the rim, then pixelated as if we didn’t know what was happening.

Came here to tell the same story. They used to play some crazy shit on TLC before the reality show takeover.

My nipples certainly aren’t the same, they’re far larger and the shape has changed, it’s pretty insane actually. Our bodies are way more plastic than we think.

For the other way round it would be vice versa, which is even more funny IMO - all of a sudden showing your previously legal nipples in public is now illegal

Because we are talking about unacceptable female nipple, isn’t it?

Or maybe the problem isn’t the nipple itself, but the context in which it’s shown.

And, after all, your are still free to put OP’s male nipple on these pictures :)

In the meme you posted, the context of the photo on the left is basically sexual assault (one person exposing another without their consent), and the meme itself implies that the (justified) reaction to it is overblown, as if it is comparable to someone willingly exposing themselves.
It is not.
The meme is a really bad take in its own right, and has nothing to do with free the nipple.

Not only are female breasts legal where I live IRL, many Lemmy communities consider them SFW under non-sexual conditions. Godspeed everybody, free the nipple!

Lefty Memes

!leftymemes@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Create post

An international (English speaking) socialist Lemmy community free of the “ML” influence of instances like lemmy.ml and lemmygrad. This is a place for undogmatic shitposting and memes from a progressive, anti-capitalist and truly anti-imperialist perspective, regardless of specific ideology.

Serious posts, news, and discussion go in c/Socialism.

If you are new to socialism, you can ask questions and find resources over on c/Socialism101.

Please don’t forget to help keep this community clean by reporting rule violations, updooting good contributions and downdooting those of low-quality!

Rules

Version without spoilers

0. Only post socialist memes

That refers to funny image macros and means that generally videos and screenshots are not allowed. Exceptions include explicitly humorous and short videos, as well as (social media) screenshots depicting a funny situation, joke, or joke picture relating to socialist movements, theory, societal issues, or political opponents. Examples would be the classic case of humorous Tumblr or Twitter posts/threads. (and no, agitprop text does not count as a meme)


1. Socialist Unity in the form of mutual respect and good faith interactions is enforced here

Try to keep an open mind, other schools of thought may offer points of view and analyses you haven’t considered yet. Also: This is not a place for the Idealism vs. Materialism or rather Anarchism vs. Marxism debate(s), for that please visit c/AnarchismVsMarxism.


2. Anti-Imperialism means recognizing capitalist states like Russia and China as such

That means condemning (their) imperialism, even if it is of the “anti-USA” flavor.


3. No liberalism, (right-wing) revisionism or reactionaries.

That includes so called: Social Democracy, Democratic Socialism, Dengism, Market Socialism, Patriotic Socialism, National Bolshevism, Anarcho-Capitalism etc. . Anti-Socialist people and content have no place here, as well as the variety of “Marxist”-“Leninists” seen on lemmygrad and more specifically GenZedong (actual ML’s are welcome as long as they agree to the rules and don’t just copy paste/larp about stuff from a hundred years ago).


4. No Bigotry.

The only dangerous minority is the rich.


5. Don't demonize previous and current socialist experiments or (leading) individuals.

We must constructively learn from their mistakes, while acknowledging their achievements and recognizing when they have strayed away from socialist principles.

(if you are reading the rules to apply for modding this community, mention “Mantic Minotaur” when answering question 2)


6. Don't idolize/glorify previous and current socialist experiments or (leading) individuals.

Notable achievements in all spheres of society were made by various socialist/people’s/democratic republics around the world. Mistakes, however, were made as well: bureaucratic castes of parasitic elites - as well as reactionary cults of personality - were established, many things were mismanaged and prejudice and bigotry sometimes replaced internationalism and progressiveness.



  1. Absolutely no posts or comments meant to relativize(/apologize for), advocate, promote or defend:
  • Racism
  • Sexism
  • Queerphobia
  • Ableism
  • Classism
  • Rape or assault
  • Genocide/ethnic cleansing or (mass) deportations
  • Fascism
  • (National) chauvinism
  • Orientalism
  • Colonialism or Imperialism (and their neo- counterparts)
  • Zionism
  • Religious fundamentalism of any kind
